to me no1 looks male, no2 looks male and no3 looks female but its hard to sex from photographs as slight colour change in pixels can look like pores i suggest buying a jewelers or photographers loupe and learning what to look for yourself, as they are much easier to sex in person. |
No! lol. . . I know what to look for.
I just need to get a jewelers loupe, i hope they arent 3 males! |
Sorry if i sounded a bit condescending when i said learn what to look for. Having read it back its sounds quite harsh which i didnt mean it to be
but i definatly suggest getting a loupe. they come in really handy and arent that expensive |
is it the wee white bits on either side of the tail?? _________________

I'm finding that even without a loupe you can see a band of 'different' looking scales in males. I guess the only way I can describe it as looking blurred. _________________

once geckos get a decent size there is no need for a loupe. Ive got a crestie that 8 grams ind i can see the pores without a loupe. He's also starting to get a buldge. His the smallest gecko ive sen with a buldge _________________
